But, in any event, I rather take it that she is NOT on the cards. In the context where she has been mentioned it rather looks like a "insert name of character that is less likely to make it into the line here". That's how I took it. It's up to interpretation really. Would be so cool if they released Sweet Bee soon.

We need to let our new friends at Super 7 know that many of us are ALL IN COLLECTORS. We don't want products that are impossible for the average collector to have access to! If there is a He-man product, I want to buy it. Please no chases or con-only exclusives.

To be honest, she's not that far a stretch as far as guesses go. She's got kind of a perfect mixture of obscure and important, which has been what MOTUC is like lately. She's a POP character which is now in the line. Her parts are easily shared with other/future figures (She has Catra's body with Double Trouble's gauntlets and boots), and she's a love/crush interest of He-Man. She's economical and interesting are far as choices go.

I love Sweet Bee. She's one of my favorite characters, and if the first version of Catra is based on the original figure then they share the same torso and it would be an easy item to re-use. Bring on Sweet Bee! I hope we don't have to wait until 2016 for her figure.

But fans also preached that we need some strong characters, and we're getting Whiplash, She-Ra, and Count Marzo, and a rumored Orko. They can't do all the popular guys right away. I really like the selection and randomness of it all, something I couldn't say a year ago. I really love this line and how it's shaping up.

Well, as a matter of fact, we DON'T get all the popular guys right away !

What with Gygor, Optikk, not to mention the non-MOTU character Mo-Larr, we cannot say Mattel releases too many favorite characters (even though I really like Optikk, for instance).

So anyway, I don't feel it's the appropriate time for Sweet Bee. At least not before we got any Galactic Protector or Snakeman.

The argument "we don't release the popular characters right away to keep the fans' interest (and wallet) active" is a piece of BS, and I don't understand how people cannot see that.

What will happen is that some popular characters might NEVER be released in MOTUC just because other less relevant ones were released in the first place !

Fans who really like MOTU will keep buying figures even after the popular characters were released, anyway.

Now, Mattel's/Matty's/Digital River's scarcity marketing and repeated blunders got me really worried that this line could end way sooner than what we hoped (and no matter if the line is "planned" until 2016). Too little figures for a growing number of fans, with the added customer service and quality control issues, can only result in fans dropping the line, sooner or later.

And I really pray that, IF the line ends soon, we'll have been able to get all the popular figures we wanted. Because let's face it : the last line (200x) was killed before the fans were able to get some of their favorite characters. And that line was ALSO disrupted because of Mattel's incompetent and disrespectful marketing !

Just to point out, we got Beastman before Skeletor. So to get Sweet Bee before Catra really wouldn't suprise me. It is a way to pass time between the hard hitters so to say. Personally I would totally buy a Sweet Bee!

The worst thing that happens to you can be the best thing for you if you don't let it get the best of you.

I am going to be so happy if Sweet Bee comes out sooner than later. She was the example I used way back when it was announced that the Bonus figures would only be variants of a-list characters. It made me think that she might not come for a very long time.

When I saw the trademark, I was excited!!

She's an awesome choice because the 4H's version will shut up everyone who thinks these characters won't work in motuc.

I also don't see the logic of saying she isn't an appropriate choice now. ALL characters are appropriate choices: this is a new line, and allllllll the characters belong.

THIS. Optikk was used as an example as a non-favorite on this thread, yet he is THE most popular character in NA. We've done many threads and posts about popularity in NA, and he always won.

Yes, all the characters belong. I hate NINJOR, but I'm not going to bellyache if he comes before the Sorceress. The point is that they are ALL supposed to be coming. After this year, there are six years of figures planned-- 72 figures without counting bonuses, large items, and exclusives.

But, I do understand the frustration of wanting those key characters. I want Prince Adam to go with Adora, yet I have Webstor and two ZodaCKs as of yet.

Sweet Bee's biggest problem is her hair and wings not mixing in the same character design - even the Filmation version was borderline with her helmet off, but the toy cardback posted in the TM thread was just completely taking the smeg, with permed hair completely swamping the wings. And with sculpted hair, that's only going to become more obvious - they need to redesign her with short hair if she's going to work as a MotUC figure.

Out of all the POP characters, Sweetbee is the one I want the least. But as I love POP, that still means I want her more than a lot of MOTU characters, so I'd still totally get Sweetbee, but only one, not several like I would with my favourite characters.
